There are lots of options but I would suggest you to order for Norwegian Stew – a Viking dish is served by some college students by only 75 NOK or approximately 7 Euro which is cheap considering the other options of expensive Norway.

Minced Lamb is first marinated with yogurt, onion juice and garlic juice at least for two hours. Then the mixture is boiled cooked with potatoes, carrots. Salts and sugar, paper dusts are added accordingly and cooked for an hour in low flame to let a thick gravy. When the mixture is done, it is served hot either with tortilla bread or normal breads.
